Status Port Error Codes

Code

Description

00H or FDH

The onboard processor is not working; it cannot access firmware EPROM; cannot
access the Status Port.

04H

Static RAM error. All words of static RAM are written with FFFFH, then zero.

This test is not exhaustive.

0CH

Firmware CRC error. The calculated CRC for odd and even EPROMs does not
match the value stored in EPROM.

80H

SCSI PSI Address/Counter registers not masked to WORD boundaries.

84H

SCSI PSI Address/Counter registers no masked to DWORD boundaries.

88H

Value Miscompare errors of SCSI PSI R/W registers in Manual Load mode.

8CH

Value Miscompare errors of SCSI PSI R/W registers in Auto Load mode.

90H

VME PSI Address/Counter registers not masked to WORD boundaries.

94H

VME PSI Address/Counter registers not masked to DWORD boundaries.

98H

Value Miscompare errors of VME PSI R/W registers in Manual Load mode.

9CH

Value Miscompare errors of VME PSI R/W registers in Auto Load mode.

A8H

SCSI termination power fuse is blown, but termination power is still present at the

SCSI connector.

ACH

SCSI termination power fuse is blown and termination power is not available at

the SCSI connector.

B0H

Value Miscompare error of QLogic Fast SCSI chips R/W registers.

B4H

QLogic Fast SCSI chip did not generate a reset interrupt.

B8H

QLogic Fast SCSI chip registers not zeroed after reset.

BCH

SCSI bus hung, waiting for reset from QLogic Fast SCSI chip. Could be cabling.

D0H

Video RAM buffer error.

E5H

The onboard processor failed the accumulator test.

E8H

The onboard processor failed the store instruction test.

E9H

The onboard processor failed the shift instruction test.

ECH

The onboard processor failed the compare instruction test.

EDH

The onboard processor failed the jump instruction test.
